A record and a movie which are taking way too long to finish!

The Record:

Daft Punk - Untitled fourth album

Ever since the release of Human After All in 2005 fans of electronic music have been craving for a fourth album, this particular craving however is a rather odd one. Sure, Daft Punk did create the electronic music genre as we know it today, along with Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk, but on a basic technical level a typical Daft Punk song isn't not very advanced.

So why the craving? Well, for starters people have over time completely fallen for Daft Punks sense of theatre and drama and the robot costumes are at least partially to blame for insane popularity. On a musical level, Daft Punk have become the target of electronic nostalgia. An electronic project that people look upon with great fondness because of the simplicity and style. So where the hell is the album? Well for starters the album has been heavily rumoured for years and o.n the 8th of February a famous funk/disco producer called Nile Rodgers was quoted saying: “Those guys are great. They’re coming to my apartment on Monday and we’re going to talk about making a new record together.” This created even more stir so if this worth anything, it's pretty indicative that the album is in the pipelines.

The Movie:

The Bioshock Movie

In 2008 Take Two announced a deal with Universal Studios to bring Bioshock to the big screen and with Gore Verbinski as director and John Logan writing the script, things seemed promising. I have always considered Bioshock a franchise that would translate to the big screen more easily since the gameplay never was as strong as the story and heavily symbolic surroundings.

However, some time passed with no news regarding the progress of either the script or potential members being rumoured or announced. The project lost Gore Verbinski as director and was replaced by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Gore Verbinski was then attached as a producer and was quoted saying that the movie would be a "hard R". This put the studio producing the movie off and the movie's future is currently uncertain. With the right director on the project and if it contains its R rating to preserve artistic freedom and to remain loyal to its pretty mature source material, the movie could end bing the video game adaption which could pave the way for other movie friendly franchises.

So what do you guys think? Are there any movies or records you've been waiting anxiously for?
